Devoid of emotion or feelings
some can conceal inner thoughts
others cannot …
revealing disdain or pleasure
on their facade., their window
to the world.

Thank you! I often write concisely.
their window
to the world.
Such a great way to highlight what this is really about. It tells the story well! This made me think a lot.
Thanks for this!
Good insights, Linda! I could never bluff at poker lol.
Ha ha! Good one!
This is compressed so well.
So much in two dozen words.
Craftsmanship.
Thank you so much!
Nice – I often think about just this – the face we present to others and how little it has to do with how we are really feeling.
So true!
I like your word choices:
devoid, disdain, conceal, facade
Like the way you used “facade.:
Linda, you do shorties really, really well! Your word choices in this is spectacular.
Window to the world! Conscience and intentional. Beautiful, and thought provoking, as always.
